Lovely Lomax, I had a 2CV ready for conversion, but changes due to circumstances halted the plan. Not a patch on a Moggie though...but comfortable suspension makes up for a lot on the Lomax.

I just bumped into it last weekend in a car park in Portishead, near Bristol.

So is the Lomax a kit car that uses a 2CV chassis and engine?
I had a moggie, a 1958 with split screen and flip up indicators. It was stolen by the guy who was fixing the engine.

M for mushroom. My brother in law foraging for mushrooms in Ćagiewniki We are generally discouraged from foraging in the UK. Only experts can tell the difference between some poisonous mushrooms and their edible lookalikes. Nikon D40 with kit lens. Interesting bokeh.

The greatest trust you can show anyone is to eat their fungus stew. Thankfully, my level of trust has never been been tested - in that way. But, in Poland we buy dried mushrooms threaded together on string collected by foragers in the market, usually sold by an old lady who's stall is nothing more than a banana box. Do I trust her more than my bro-in-law?

The best way to find the best fungus is to use a pig to smell it out. I can't say that I have tried it. the pig method that is, but the French have used it with much success. Unfortunately the potential perils of poisonous varieties have been rather overplayed in Britain and few will pick any fungus to eat. There is a simple way to find out if the fungus id safe; feed it to your guests, but don't have any yourself. If the guests are still well twenty-four hours later the said fungus may be assumed safe to eat. Personally. I have never quite developed a taste for fungus, and even truffles don't quite cut the mustard with me.
Some practical advice, for those who do like mushrooms: if the cap fits, eat it.

Sid, no, it was a very soft bump, but enough for the vehicle concerned to have lost one of its rear wheels.

Some time in the 1920s my uncle was driving downhill in Kent (it's up and down all the way to Canterbury, except when cycling when it's more more up than down both ways). Then he noticed one of the rear wheels was overtaking him.
